Research Tip
Seek out strong mentors intentionally: Researchers with effective mentorship are more likely to secure protected research time, lead competitive grants, achieve promotion, report higher career satisfaction, and develop greater confidence in their academic goals.
Six reasons why clinician-trialists need to get mentored:
- Academic clinicians who get mentored get more peer-reviewed research grants.
- Academic clinicians who get mentored publish more papers in refereed journals.
- Academic clinicians who get mentored get faster academic promotion.
- Academic clinicians who get mentored are more likely to stay at their academic institutions.
- Academic clinicians who get mentored report greater belief in their own ability to accomplish specific academic goals and tasks.
- Academic clinicians who get mentored report greater career satisfaction.
